WOW! Wasn't ready for that. He had been working away all week and I had told him by email (such a chicken ). He came in today and said "Can I have a word with you in my office".
My tummy did backflips.... he seemed SOOOOO morose and serious. I thought he was going to say they had been thinking of letting me go or something.
But he didn't!

He said that it was good news and that once I had had my scan I could let him know when I'm ready to go on Mat leave. Then he said that once the the baby was born and I was ready to return to work they could sort out part time arrangements if that suited better!!!!!

I've only been here 6 months so I was expecting a bit of a frosty reception. Its a very male orientated environment and they are all very sexist here.
So I am delighted and I feel MUCH better now.

Just thought I'd share that with you all coz I'm sitting here grinning like a Cheshire cat!

(Do cheshire cats really grin?)

great news m2t - I told my boss by email too - about 5 minutes before he left for a conference in SA for 2 weeks! even more of a chicken! so I'm really glad it all went well.

Oops I missed your question Coddy! Yes he has a 3 yr old daughter who wasn't planned. He told me all about that too. He's only about 8 yrs older than me..... and rather attractive too.

lol Morocco! I'd have gone off my head waiting to hear what his reaction was!

MsT you are such a lucky duck!!

How come you have a lovely job, spend all day on mumsnet, get pg without trying too hard AND have a fab boss who obviously thinks you are fab too.

Jealous? Moi?!

MsT? Mean M2T.

Must preview . . .

lol Mum2Ela - My job is terrible!! Well the job isn't, but the people are. The nice boss I'm talking about is only in the office 3 or 4 days a month and is out on site the rest of the time. So I'm left here with the sexist plebs! I am equal in position to them yet I find things being left on my desk to file for them..... coz I'm female! Cheeky bastards! >angry face
